Sir: A nation that has no capacity to accept others’ comments cannot be changed! Debating and practical changes are two different dimensions. A nation that cannot accept criticism and always sees the better side of its country and avoids accepting mistakes cannot progress. Accepting criticism helps us grow. We should listen to the media and decide, but here, unfortunately, in our state, most of the people do not have the sense to think on their own. We blindly follow whatever we are told without even thinking about what we are doing for a minute. This is one of the major reasons of our downfall. We need to change this mindset and accept reality in order to bring about a change in our country. MUNIR MOOSA SEWANI Via e-mail
